Kitronik Inventor's Kit for the Raspberry Pi Pico

The Kitronik Inventor's Kit for the Raspberry Pi Pico is an ideal entry - point for those eager to explore physical computing with the Pico. Inside this all - in - one kit, you'll find everything needed to carry out 10 thrilling experiments. A full - color instruction booklet is included, guiding you through each step of every experiment. Note: The Pico isn't part of this kit, but a pre - soldered one can be bought separately here. This kit unlocks endless possibilities. The booklet is designed to give you a head - start. Before diving into the experiments, it introduces you to the Raspberry Pi Pico and helps you get it ready for use. It also offers an introduction to coding, shows you how to run Python code on the Pico, gives tips on using breadboards, and provides a detailed assembly guide for the kit. Each experiment is clearly and concisely explained. The booklet details the parts required, the code used, presents breadboard wiring and circuit diagrams, and fully describes what's happening and why. The 10 experiments start simple and gradually increase in difficulty. **Includes**: A full - color instruction booklet, a Kitronik injection - moulded Inventor's prototyping mounting plate, a laser - cut Pico mounting plate with fixings, a Pico Pin Breakout Board, a Kitronik 5 LED ZIP stick with pins, a Mini 180 Degree Resin Gear Servo SG90, a 7 - segment display, 4 push switches, 2 red 5mm LEDs, 2 green 5mm LEDs, 2 yellow 5mm LEDs, 2 orange 5mm LEDs, 10 220Ω resistors, 5 2.2kΩ resistors, 5 10kΩ resistors, a 3mm Phototransistor, a Transistor (NPN BC337), a fan blade, a motor, a piezo element buzzer, 20 MM jumper wires, a 470uF electrolytic capacitor, a terminal connector, a potentiometer with a finger - adjust spindle. **Requires**: A Raspberry Pi Pico with pre - soldered headers, a screwdriver, a micro USB cable, and the Thonny Editor. **Features**: This kit offers a great way to learn how to build and control electronic circuits using the Pico and MicroPython. No soldering is needed, so you can build your first circuit in minutes. Just follow the detailed full - color guide booklet to work through the 10 included experiments. **Note**: The Pico is not supplied with this kit, a pre - soldered one can be obtained separately here. **Examples of Experiments**: Digital Inputs & Outputs, Light Sensor & Analog Inputs, Dimming an LED using a potentiometer, Using a transistor to drive a motor, Controlling a servo with a potentiometer, Setting the tone with a piezo buzzer, Using a seven - segment display, Exploring wind power, Capacitor charge circuit, Controlling ZIP LEDs.

Using this Kitronik Inventor's Kit for the Raspberry Pi Pico is easy. First, gather the required items like a pre - soldered Raspberry Pi Pico, a screwdriver, a micro USB cable, and the Thonny Editor. Then, read through the full - color instruction booklet. It will introduce you to the Pico and help you get it ready. Also, it will teach you basic coding and how to run Python on the Pico. When you start the experiments, follow the step - by - step guide in the booklet. It clearly shows you what parts to use, how to wire them on the breadboard, and what the code does. As you progress, the experiments get more challenging, but the guide will always be there to assist you. Remember, the Pico is not included in the kit, so make sure to get one separately. And don't worry about soldering, as this kit allows you to build circuits without it. For maintenance, keep the parts in a dry and clean place. Avoid dropping or mishandling the electronic components. If you have any questions during the experiments, refer back to the instruction booklet or look for online resources related to Raspberry Pi Pico and MicroPython.
